Hello Adhityaa,

You might be interested in a diceware-style password generator based on
pass: https://github.com/congma/pass-genphrase

I wrote this a while ago and opted for the EFF long word list
(https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/07/new-wordlists-random-passphrases)
as the source of words.

Cheers,
Cong.
